Angels center fielder Torii Hunter has won his ninth consecutive American League Gold Glove, matching Seattle Mariners right fielder Ichiro Suzukion the team announced Tuesday.

They were joined in the outfield by one of the three newcomers on the AL team, Baltimore's Adam Jones. The other first-timers were Tampa Bay third baseman Evan Longoria and Chicago White Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle.

The rest of the squad has a more familiar look: Minnesota catcher Joe Mauer; New York Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira and shortstop Derek Jeter; and Detroit second baseman Placido Polanco.

The Gold Glove is Hunter's second in as many seasons in Anaheim, continuing a long tradition of Gold-Glove Angels center fielders.
